Too Many Gimmicks

Shoes for Ireland game ludicrous—seems every time Kelly gimmicks up we lose.

You are playing in Ireland–just wear green jerseys period.

For those who haven’t seen what these Irish Flag cleats look like that they will be wearing during the game, here they are:

Maybe Navy should wear these cleats:

USC’s Amir Carlisle to Transfer to Notre Dame!

Irish in LA January 7, 2012 Football Tagged amir Carlisle, College football, Notre Dame, transfer, USC

Can’t really believe this but it’s true. Amir Carlisle is going to wear the blue and gold after being a Trojan. This has to be the ultimate “fuck you” to USC. Makes you wonder what is really going on over there. I can’t wait to hear all the bitching and crying USC fans and the local papers (I live in LA) will begin. They are all going to say that he’s really not as good as they thought he was and that he’s a bum and so on. Glad to have him. Hope we get the Armistead boys next.

Crist Leaving Notre Dame

Chicago Tribune has reported Dayne Crist will leave ND after this season. Still unclear whether or not he will suitup for the bowl.
Good luck to him. He deserves it.

STANFORD 28 ND 14

ND Editor November 27, 2011 Football Tagged Andrew Hendrix, Dayne Crist, Gunner Kiel, Michael Floyd, Notre Dame, Stanford, Tommy Rees

Not ready, sloppy, low intensity by the ND offensive line contributed to a flame out in the first half and down 21 to zip no way to beat Stanford.

This team, especially the offense in facing quality opponents falls flat and almost looks like they are not only confused but that they expect to lose.

The OL was atrocious against a Stanford defense not known for brutalizing opponents. Sure Cave was out but it was the entire line that got punked.

A depleted defense made a valiant effort and those young guys gives us hope for the future.

Turning again to the OL we lose at least 2 starters but I do not recall any 2nd teamer getting any significant playing time–that is not how you produce effective depth.

Rees lack of any mobility almost got him killed. Going to Hendrix provided a spark and he should start in Bowl game.

Unfortunately it was also a final dis to Crist.

Wait til you see the Fla State pass rush–that could get real ugly.

For some reason this offensive team does not look prepared ag. good teams nor does there appear much effort or intensity.

Kelly and the offensive coaches have to do a much better job in all phases of the game prep.

Keep recruiting both OL and DL men but they have to play at least a little so they are ready when some one goes down.

Rarely do you have a talent like Mike Floyd and not play someone who can actually pass.

This team better in Sept than Nov.– called regression.

Lastly–get Gunner Kiel

ND VS STANFORD

ND Editor November 24, 2011 Football Tagged Andrew Luck, Notre Dame, Stanford

We’ll know how this game will play out in the opening possession by both teams.

ND offense–line must show up and dominate or run game won’t work, same goes for pass. If ND goes 3 and out this will be a long night.

ND defense–unrelenting pressure on the Stanford QB Luck by the front 4 with lots of blitzing–if no pressure on Luck he will do same thing Barkley of USC did–game over. Nice if we can get a pic once in awhile.

I have the feeling that ND plays same way they did with USC–come out flat with no intensity.

ND has the players to beat Stanford but they won’t.

Prediction:

STANFORD 38 ND 20

ND can’t play from behind and expect to win

Few thoughts on BC game

ND Editor November 21, 2011 Football Tagged Boston College, Brian Kelly, Jimmy Clausen, Jonas Gray, Luke Kuechly, Notre Dame, Tommy Rees

Wish BC #40 Kuechley played for us–he wanted to come to ND–can you imagine ILB’s Teo & Kuechley.

Losing Gray a big big hit, field position and flu had big impact. I thought team always got flu shots–at least they used to.

ND fans really need to back off on Rees–what’s he supposed to tell Kelly-“play some other guy”

ND spoiled by a once in every 25 yrs QB–Çlaussen and can’t get it thru there heads no QB on team now is anywhere near Jimmy.

Knock off Stanford in prime time and win Bowl game–turn the defense loose.

ND 16 BC 14

ND Editor November 20, 2011 Football Tagged Aaron Lynch, Boston College, Gunner Kiel, Jonas Gray, Notre Dame, Tommy Rees

Escaped with a win to go 8-3.

BC had a good defensive game plan dropping 8–many times Rees had no play but threw it anyway–should have been 3 pics for BC.

Sure do miss Cave–chemistry just not there yet.

Jonas Gray–devastating loss with knee–looks like he’s done–last year it was hamstrings and this year acl’s.

Tuitt did not play but glad to see Niclas at DE position think that is where he will end up in 2012.

Toma continues to impress and he and Ruffer along with Gray MVP’s for this game.

I don’t get Diaco at all.

Aaron Lynch frustration showing he’s held almost every play yet no calls.

Give BC credit–good game plan.

Truly hope Kelly just holding back or we are in deep trouble next week especially without Gray.

If Gunner Kiel was at this game–just commit now–you’ll play early.
